Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lin Yurong, better known by the nom de guerre Lin Biao (1907- 1971) was a major Chinese Communist military leader who was pivotal in the communist victory in the Chinese Civil War, especially in Northeastern China, and was the general who commanded the decisive Liaoshen Campaign and Pingjin Campaign, co-led the Northeast battlefield army of People's Liberation Army into Beijing and crossed Yangtze River in 1949. He ranked third among the ten Marshals and only equal to Zhu De and Peng Dehuai while ahead of He Long and Liu Bocheng. He abstained from becoming a major player in politics until he rose to prominence during the Cultural Revolution, climbing as high as second-in-charge and Mao Zedong's designated and constitutional successor and comrade-in-arms. He died in a plane crash in September 1971 in Mongolia. Following his death he was officially condemned as a traitor by Communist Party of China; he and Jiang Qing are still considered to be the two "major Counter-revolutionary parties" during the Cultural Revolution.

Download or read book The Tragedy of Lin Biao written by Frederick C. Teiwes and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lin Biao affair, which saw the Minister of Defence dramatically rise to become Mao Zedong's designated successor at the start of the Cultural Revolution in 1966 and, even more dramatically, die in a plane crash while fleeing his country in September 1971, remains the least understood of all Chinese Communist Party elite conflicts of the Maoist era. Despite the pivotal importance of Lin's rise and fall in the history of contemporary China, his career has received little scholarly attention. In this pathbreaking study Frederick Teiwes and Warren Sun offer an interpretation which radically undermines the standard view of Lin Biao as an ambitious politician who manoeuvred his way to the top, adopted a radical position during the Cultural Revolution to promote his own interests, and eventually came undone by seeking to consolidate his own power and military dominance over the polity, thus leading to a vicious power struggle with Mao. They reveal Lin as someone basically uninterested in power or even politics, who was thrust into leading positions and the successor role by Mao against his wishes; who never opposed Mao politically but instead attempted to follow his wishes in every way to the extent that they could be determined; who had no policy programme, whose rare initiatives were on the side of moderation; and whose political decline was due to Mao's reaction to complex factors unconnected with either a bid by Lin for personal aggrandizement or an effort to entrench army power. In this Teiwes and Sun refute both the official Chinese verdict on Lin Biao and the prevailing Western interpretation.

Download or read book Lin Biao and the Gang of Four written by Tien-wei Wu and published by Carbondale : Southern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to treat the intellectual developments that accompanied the "Criticizing Lin Biao and Confucius Movement" and the campaign against the "Gang of Four," separating the political issues from the academic issues in both campaigns and reporting the genuine advances to come from the campaigns in archaeology, history, philosophy, sociology, and literature. Following a discussion of the "Campaign Against Lin Biao" Professor Wu treats those topics examined by Chinese scholars under its impetus: "Slave Society in Ancient China," "Historical Critics and Criticisms of Confucius," "Confucius and His Communist Critics," "The Struggle Between the Confucian and Legalist Schools: From the Late Spring and Autumn Period to Quin," "Criticism of Literature and the Arts: The Shui-hu zhuan Campaign," and then shows how in some cases the "Criticisms of the Gang of Four" further modified and corrected these areas of study. His carefully structured presentation and evaluation of this politically encouraged research makes clear the need for scholars to approach such polemics as they would any new data, for there were discoveries of enduring significance that resulted from both movements. Indeed, Professor Wu approaches this recent scholarship with such subtle discernment that his work approaches an intellectual history of China. Completing this remarkable volume are documentary notes and a "Selected Bibliography," divided into nine parts that roughly follow the organization of the text, which together offer invaluable sources for further study and research.

Download or read book China s Road to Disaster written by Frederick C. Teiwes and published by M.E. Sharpe. This book was released on 1998-12-14 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text analyzes the dramatic shifts in Chinese Communist Party economic policy during the mid to late 1950s which eventually resulted in 30 to 45 million deaths through starvation as a result of the failed policies of the Great Leap Forward. Teiwes examines both the substance and the process of economic policy-making in that period, explaining how the rational policies of opposing rash advance in 1956-57 gave way to the fanciful policies of the Great Leap, and assessing responsibility for the failure to adjust adequately those policies even as signs of disaster began to reach higher level decision makers. In telling this story, Teiwes focuses on key participants in the process throughout both "rational" and "utopian" phases - Mao, other top leaders, central economic bureaucracies and local party leaders. The analysis rejects both of the existing influential explanations in the field, the long dominant power politics approach focusing on alleged clashes within the top leadership, and David Bachman's recent institutional interpretation of the origins of the Great Leap. Instead, this study presents a detailed picture of an exceptionally Mao-dominated process, where no other actor challenged his position, where the boldest step any actor took was to try and influence his preferences, and where the system in effect became paralyzed while Mao kept changing signals as disaster unfolded.
